Liverpool icon Fowler convinced Gerrard, Torres will stay

Liverpool icon Robbie Fowler remains confident Steven Gerrard and Fernando Torres will stay at Anfield.

Fowler, now playing in Australia with Perth Glory, is desperate for the good times to return to Anfield.

He told Sky Sports: "I want Liverpool to be the number one club in the world.

"Obviously the current owners have put the club up for sale and for the life of me I can't think why there's no takers just yet.

"You always want the best players and as far as I'm concerned Steven Gerrard and Fernando Torres are the best players.

"I hope they stay and I can't see them leaving to be honest. I mean they've both come out on record saying how much they love the club and that's good enough for me."
